What Men Really Think of Slutty Halloween

Every year, people jump on soapboxes, rooftops, and internet comment threads in order to rail about "Slutty Halloween." Some say dressing provocatively empowers women, while others say it's a lazy reason to act out against one's mother.

I reached out to 15 of my male friends so they could weigh in on this hot-button issue. Here is a representative sampling of their responses:

"Girls who dress all slutty on Halloween are being really insensitive to sluts who are slutty every day."

"I prefer a good pun costume, like Virginia Werewolf or Mia Ham or Susan Bee Anthony."
